March 13, 2018 - Written By Daniel Golightly Following no fewer than 53 reports of power banks overheating and at least one case of chemical burns, Amazon has been forced to issue a recall on at least 6 different AmazonBasics-branded portable chargers. Unfortunately, this recall – listed as recall number 18-728 by the Consumer Product Safety Commission – includes quite a large swatch of Amazon’s products in the category. Worse, the timeframe for these items includes those sold between December 2014 and July 2017 at costs between $9 and $40. This includes those that were sold both with or without a carrying pouch and micro USB cable. Thankfully, Amazon has made returning the items for a refund easy enough to accomplish and anybody who needs to return one can hit the button below to fill out a simple form to get started. Specifically, the recall is for portable battery banks that feature the AmazonBasics logo on the front and have one of six product numbers on the … [Read more...] about PSA: AmazonBasics Portable Power Banks Recall Is Underway

If you want a flagship device, there are a lot of options out there. You can get your hands on the Samsung Galaxy S8, LG G6, Huawei P10, or HTC U11, just to name a few. There are also more of them coming soon including the Galaxy Note 8 and Pixel 2 series. Of course, all these handsets come at a premium price. The good news is that there are also a number of high-end phones out there with relatively budget friendly prices. These phones are sometimes playfully called flagship killers, a trend that started with OnePlus and its original OnePlus One. What makes them stand out? They all offer many of the same bells and whistles as phones that cost hundreds more, while making mostly small sacrifices to reach that point. In this post, we’ll take a closer look at a few budget-friendly high-end smartphones that may not be the best on the market right now, but are still more than suitable for demanding users. Let’s get started. OnePlus 3T The first device on the list is … [Read more...] about Here are the best high-end smartphones that won’t break the bank

Video: Will new iPhones explode if they wirelessly charge while plugged in? So you've bought one of the newest generation smartphones and you've noticed that while you are on the road, you're running out of juice quickly. You need a portable battery with high-speed charging capability. But not all portable batteries are the same, despite the fact that they might use similar Lithium Polymer (LiPo) and Lithium Ion (Lion) cells for capacity and look very much alike. There are three different high-speed USB charging standards currently on the market, and while all of them will work with your device using a common legacy charge mode, you will ideally want to match up the correct technology in order to optimize the speed in which you can top off your phone, tablet, or laptop. Let's start by explaining the differences between them. Legacy USB-A 2.0 and 3.0 charging If your smartphone device has the USB Micro B connector (the dreaded fragile trapezoid … [Read more...] about Fast charge USB power banks: Juice your smartphone for the holidays

OnePlus did an excellent job building its OnePlus 5 flagship earlier this year, with a solid build, a great camera at its price point, and good software – save for a few issues, of course. With the 5T, it decided to fix the problem of being late to the bezel-less game, adding a larger 6-inch display to the 5’s chassis. I’m all about that front fascia, so this easily tops the list of phones I’d like to use well into 2018. Oh, and OnePlus also came up with a limited edition Star Wars variant to celebrate the launch of the new film, The Last Jedi; it’s essentially the same phone but with a planet Crait-themed colorway with a few design touches, tiny tweaks to the UI, some bundled wallpapers, and a custom Kylo Ren-inspired case. Fans of the franchise will certainly appreciate those changes that make it a memorable collectible at almost the same price as the original 5T. So what do you get for ~$600? Let’s take a closer look. Design The 5T follows very … [Read more...] about OnePlus’ 5T Star Wars edition is my favorite $600 phone of 2017

OnePlus's USB Type-C Adapter, currently sold on its website and on Amazon, is getting bad reviews for using a wrong electronic component, which causes devices--phones, tablets, and laptops supporting the new connector--to fail. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer is known for its low-cost smartphones with high-end features. The startup also makes phone cases and covers, power cables, power banks, and earphones. Benson Leung, an engineer working on Google's Pixel C laptop, has been called a “USB vigilante” after posting brutal and honest reviews on Amazon. Two weeks ago, Leung wrote that he is already fed up with cables and adaptors from 3rd-party vendors that are not compliant with the standards. This weekend, he included the accessory from OnePlus, saying that it uses a different identifier resistor, a tiny electronic device designed to resist passages of an electric current. Leung discourages people from buying the USB Type-C Adapter and Cable for the Chromebook Pixel … [Read more...] about Don’t Buy USB Type-C Adapters And Cables From OnePlus, Says Google Engineer
